We all remember the aftershocks of the stimulus. Forbes delivered a "Bailout Bonus Smackdown" article exposing bankers who collected $18 billion in bonuses.

But does Demings support policies like the stimulus? The Truth Meter remains in hover mode.

Demings wasn't in Congress at the time of the vote in 2009, though it was passed entirely by Democrats.

The tiny print in this ad points us to the electful.com website. On the economy, it shows Demings is for the stimulus -- but underneath, it shows no information; no attribution for the rating. On the same page, though, it shows her as being against bailouts.

Back to that claim that the stimulus failed. According to the non partisan Congressional Budget Office, the stimulus package increased employment by between 1.4 and 3.3 million jobs.

Whether you consider that a failure is up to you.

"And Demings would raise taxes on families and small businesses," the ad said.

The Truth Meter rings false on raising taxes on families and small businesses.

Even the fine print in this ad directs us to Demings' own website.

Under her Jobs Plan section she says nothing about raising taxes. Instead, she wants more tax deductions, credits and loans to help with start-up costs for small businesses that create jobs.

The claim partly refers to a Fox Business article in July in which small businesses said they fear the health care law and President Barack Obama's tax plans will hurt small businesses.

Demings said in a recent interview with Lake County's Citizens for Better Government that there are "good things in the law," like preventing insurance companies from denying coverage, when asked about the health care act.

"Keep tax-and-spend politician Val Demings out of Congress," the ad goes on to say.

Tax-and-spend politician? We'll grade that last jab false.

"Demings, the former Orlando police chief, has never been elected to public office," the ad finishes.

That claim is up to voters in Congressional District 10.
